Who is Vadim Krasikov, Russia's priority prisoner in historic swap?

Vadim Krasikov was the most prominent of several Russians imprisoned by the West before being released Thursday in a massive global prisoner swap.

President Biden revealed Thursday that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva and Vladimir Kara-Murza were freed along with five Germans and seven Russian citizens who were being held as political prisoners.

Russian authorities have made it clear that Krasikov would be one of the top choices for a prisoner exchange.
